'''Gangs''' are groups of criminals who work with either the [[Assassins]] or the [[Templars]] at different points in history, and in different areas of the world.

==History==
===Seven Years' War===
During the [[Seven Years' War]], some gangs were active in the [[United States|American colonies]], working with the Assassins. The leading Assassin figure among the gangs was [[Hope Jensen]], a member of the [[Colonial Assassins|Colonial branch]] of the Order.<ref name=ACRG>''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref>

Gangs provided intelligence reports, support and manpower to the Assassins, holding strategic positions from the British, spying on Templar movements, and supporting the French in naval and infantry combat.The gangs were often led personally by Assassins, acting either as [[Ships|ship]] captains or as leaders within [[Gang headquarters|gang hideouts]]. They also made heavy use of various gases, often storing them in large barrels, or using them in the form of grenades similar to the [[Turkish Assassins]].<ref name="ACRG"/>

Gangs had multiple hideouts throughout [[New York]], the northern [[Atlantic Ocean]] and the [[River Valley]], harassing the populace and preventing businesses and homes from being renovated. When in control of an area, the gang members would hang large orange banners from buildings and clothes lines, some bearing the [[Assassin insignia]], as well as marking graffiti on walls. Upon liberation from their control, these markers would go away, save for a few buildings owned by people without the proper money and resources to renovate the buildings themselves.<ref name="ACRG"/>

Gangs also patrolled the seas, performing actions similar to those of [[pirate hunters]] when too many [[French Navy]] or gang ships were sunk.<ref name="ACRG"/>

When the Assassins were wiped out by Shay Cormac, the gangs were ultimately crushed by the Templars, though they would still persist in small enclaves throughout the colonies.<ref name="ACRG"/>

===Victorian era===
During the [[Victorian era]], various gangs were active around [[London]], primarily paid off by the [[British Rite of the Templar Order|British Templars]], one of whom controlled each of the major gangs in the city and ruled the entire city with an iron fist. In retaliation, [[Jacob Frye|Jacob]] and [[Evie Frye]] of the [[British Assassins]] formed the [[Rooks]] in order to take back the city through the utilization of organized crime.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKR42Ci000k YouTube: ''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' Gameplay Walkthrough]</ref>
